If you have congestive heart failure (CHF), this story could change your life. It did for Houri, a tough 61-year-old, Iranian-born woman with CHF.
Her doctors told her she was in for a downhill spiral. The only thing they could do was slow the progression with chemicals. So her physicians stuffed her full of chemicals, including Paxil. She gained a lot of abdominal weight and stopped the psychoactive drugs on her own.
Then she developed CHF. Her doctors, of course, prescribed Cozaar and beta-blockers, which caused balance problems.
She eventually stopped the petrochemicals on her own and her balance improved. But she was not doing anything for CHF. The most important measure of heart function, her ejection fraction, dropped from 44% in September 2000 to 35-40% in August 2003. Ejection fraction is the percentage of blood your heart pumps out from it is left ventricle in one stroke. My minimum standard for good health is 60%. The way Houri was headed, she would fulfill her doctors prognosis of gradual decline.
When she finally came to see me in September 2004, I found her to have a lot of mercury amalgams in her mouth. Diseased hearts tend to have high concentrations of mercury.
I also found disturbances in the empty sockets of two wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth energetically connect to the heart meridian in German acupuncture theory.
She had significantly elevated levels of lead and modestly elevated levels of mercury on a challenged urine test (a test I require on just about everyone I see).
This is a complicated problem, so the treatment is not just one magic bullet. First, I suggested she have a doctor evaluate the sockets where her wisdom teeth were removed to make sure there was not a hidden infection. Then have any infection surgically cleaned out.
Next, I gave her the supplements crataegus, Arjuna Heart (an Ayurvedic herb formula — 800-426-6763), and ribose. (Ill have more on these in a future issue.)
I also had her take the following supplements: taurine, CoQ10, Iodoral, a policosanol/guggul formulation (Healthy Resolves Advanced Cholesterol Formula), and supplements to raise glutathione.
Glutathione is your premier natural heavy metal scavenger. The supplements I recommend for this purpose are N-acetylcysteine (NAC), Immunopro (undenatured whey protein), vitamin C, and alpha lipoic acid.
By May 2005, her ejection fraction had rocketed to a robust 70%. Her energy level, as expected, increased right along with it. And she is no longer threatened by CHF.
Other than antibiotics, drugs are never a cure. They treat only symptoms. And they usually create new problems. So always look for natural answers to your health challenges first. It will help you avoid all the side effects drugs create — and you can usually find solutions.
